2007 Iveco Daily 35C18 Xlwb 3.0L Diesel · HY07 AHV

The April 8 2026 MOT at 359,212 miles confirms the 2007 Iveco Daily 35C18 XLWB is roadworthy, though the parking brake barely met the standard and the braking system requires adjustment. Repeated corrosion on the front subframe mounting area and suspension arm mounting points, together with recurring brake binding and tyre wear, show that previous owners have tolerated defects rather than effecting repairs. Since the 2018 test at 288,832 miles the recorded mileage has risen steadily, reaching 300,052 miles by March 2019, 311,086 miles by March 2020, 321,413 miles by March 2021, 329,159 miles by March 2022, 335,314 miles by March 2023, 341,704 miles by April 2024, 357,614 miles by March 2025 and finally 359,212 miles in April 2026. The jump from 341,704 miles in April 2024 to 357,614 miles in March 2025 represents an annual increase of roughly 15,900 miles, far above the average 18,900 miles per year expected for a 19‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting intensified usage or extended periods of operation without significant mileage reduction. A buyer should therefore examine the front and rear suspension arms, the subframe mounting areas and the anti‑roll bar linkages for the documented corrosion and worn bushes, verify the parking brake adjustment and the condition of the rear service brake, inspect the steering rack inner joint and track rod end for excessive play, check tyre tread depth especially on the near‑side rear tyre, assess the exhaust flexi for leaks, and look for the persistent oil leak and defective wiper blade noted in multiple tests. The repeated corrosion on structural mounting points and the high mileage accumulation point to accelerated wear on brakes, suspension and drivetrain components, making a detailed physical inspection of these areas essential before committing to purchase.
